HTML: The Fairy Books, or "Coloured" Fairy Books is a collection of fairy tales divided into twelve books, each associated with a different colour. Collected together by Andrew Land they are sourced from a number of different countries and were translated by Lang's wife and other translators who also retold many of the tales. The collection has been incalculably important and, although he did not source the stories himself direct from the oral tradition he can make claim to the first English translation of many.

| Dedication |
To Joan, Toddles, and Tiny.
Books Yellow, Red, and Green, and Blue,
All true, or just as good as true,
and here's the Yellow Book for you!
Hard is the path from A to Z,
and puzzling to a curly head,
Yet leads to Books -- Green, Blue, and Red.
For every child should understand
That letters from the first were planned
To guide us into Fairy Land.
So labour at your Alphabet
For by that learning you shall get
to lands where Fairies may be met.
And going where this pathway goes,
You too, at last, may find, who knows?
The Garden of the Singing Rose.  | |

PREFACE
The Editor thinks that children will readily forgive him for publishing another Fairy Book. THE CAT AND THE MOUSE IN PARTNERSHIP
A cat had made acquaintance with a mouse, and had spoken so much of the great love and friendship she felt for her, that at last the Mouse consented to live in the same house with her, and go shares in the housekeeping. | |
